Rangers penalty call 'crazy' verdict as pundits make 'that's why VAR is there' claim

Top BBC pundits have branded James Penrice's decision to pull Alfredo Morelos' shirt 'crazy'.

The Livingston defender conceded a penalty that handed Michael Beale's side an opening in to their eventual 3-0 win over the Lions on Saturday. Rangers skipper James Tavernier converted from the spot before scoring from another dead ball with a free-kick followed by a sweet strike from Kemar Roofe. It meant Rangers remained unbeaten after 13 games of Beale's tenure.

The incident wasn't initially spotted by referee David Dickinson before Andrew Dallas in the VAR room suggested a review.
